I think some of the other suggestions are better, but my first thought was burying the knife in its food supply (assumings it's being given like entire dead cows or something) and hoping it takes a big enough bite to swallow it.

I imagine that blade going through the digestive track has a good chance to kill it.

    Hmmm, I wonder how this would affect things in the future where this is widely used.

    I.E. if you had both widespread solar usage and some kind of large blackout, would it be hard to get all your solar back online because it's all in the "waiting for the grid" state? And the grid can't come back at capacity because all the solar it's expecting is out?

    I assume people smarter than me have this figured out, but just a random thought if anyone knows more.

    I think a lot of Americans would be surprised, like I was when I moved here, that EU stores will sell chicken products from China, but not the United States.

    It's absolutely playable on the steam deck - beat the game that way with no regrets.

    That said, do yourself a favor and lookup the graphics settings to use. By default, it uses a preset "Steamdeck" option with absolutely atrocious graphics - and completely unnecessarily! It can actually run the game at much higher settings with almost no FPS impact.

    (I know people say that kind of thing all the time, but I'm telling ya, in this case it really is a night and day difference).

    Will it be as nice as a gaming PC? Obviously not, but I was honestly really impressed with what it could do. The game is well optimized.

    If you struggle to find settings, let me know, I can try to dig em up later.

    You've got to remember that for most people living outside of cities, or living in red cities, this might as well not exist. Hell I bet even within big cities you might not be exposed to it depending on the neighborhood. You'd only really know through the news, and they don't get their news from anywhere that would show them the truth.

    If by chance word actually gets back to them that something really is happening, it's already been carefully run through the Republican spin machine, where this is all very legal and very necessary to "restore order" - where resisting is the real anti-American thing to do.

    What would it take to collapse the fantasy-land Trumpers inhabit on the daily? I'm not sure. You're fighting 50 years of conservative propaganda for some of these folks - Trump is just the latest at the helm. They won't be swayed easily.

    I read through all the Reddit threads, and there's only speculation.

    All the videos are gone now, but apparently he had been acting a little strange in his recent live streams. You can find comments about it on Reddit even if the video is gone. In short, he seemed off.

    There was also some evidence presented that the bullshit accusations levied against him were, unfortunately, really getting to him.

    Still hoping it was all just some tragic accident. We'll probably never know for sure. But it's a huge loss to the community - gone far too young.

    It says so much that every single creator had such wonderful things to say about him. We should all strive to be such a positive force in the world.

    New research reveals that the DNA switches controlling human finger development originated from genes that regulated fish cloacas 380 million years ago[^1].

    "Rather than building a new regulatory system for the digits, nature has repurposed an existing mechanism, initially active in the cloaca," explains developmental geneticist Denis Duboule from the University of Geneva[^1].

    The research team discovered this by comparing fish and mouse genomes, focusing on Hoxd genes. When they tagged DNA switches with fluorescent markers, these lit up in mouse digits but in fish cloacas. Deleting these genetic elements using CRISPR-Cas9 disrupted finger development in mice and cloaca formation in fish[^1].

    "The common feature between the cloaca and the digits is that they represent terminal parts," notes geneticist Aurélie Hintermann. "Sometimes they are the end of tubes in the digestive system, sometimes the end of feet and hands"[^1].

    See the linked page for information about how it works, limitations, etc. and I'll of course answer any questions below!

    As I have stated in the release section, this software is alpha so please don't be afraid to report bugs!

    Releases are here: https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim/releases

    Right now the program only supports Lemmy BE 0.18.1-rc9, but new releases will try to support new versions as they are released. The Lemmy API is changing a ton right now, but I'll try to keep up.

    Note: Supports 0.18.1-rc9+ - I have tested it with rc9, rc10, and the final release of 0.18.1.
